본 논문에서는 마커 없이 증강 현실을 구현하기 위한 물체 인식 기법을 제안한다. 먼저 SIFT(Scale Invariant Feature Transform)알고리즘을 사용하여 물체 영상으로부터 특징점을 찾는데, 이러한 특징점들은 비율, 회전 또는 이동시에도 그 특징이 변하지 않는 장점이 있다. 또한 조도의 변화에도 일부는 변화지 않는 특성을 갖는다. 추출된 특징점의 독립적인 특성을 이용해 화면내의 다른 이미지의 매칭 포인트를 찾을 수 있는데, 학습된 영상과 매칭이 이루어지면, 매칭된 점을 이용해 화면내의 물체를 찾는다. 본 논문에서는 장면의 첫 프레임에서 발생하는 템플릿 이미지와의 매칭을 통해 현재의 화면에서 물체를 인식하였다. 네 종류의 물체에 대해 인식 실험을 한 결과 제안한 방법이 우수한 성능을 갖는 것을 확인하였다.

The traditional feature extraction methods such as principal component analysis (PCA) cannot obtain the local structure of the samples, and locally linear embedding (LLE) cannot obtain the global structure of the samples. However, a common drawback of existing PCA and LLE algorithm is that they cannot deal well with the sparse problem of the samples. Therefore, by integrating the globality of PCA and the locality of LLE with a sparse constraint, we developed an improved and unsupervised difference algorithm called Sparse Difference Embedding (SDE), for dimensionality reduction of high-dimensional data in small sample size problems. Significantly differing from the existing PCA and LLE algorithms, SDE seeks to find a set of perfect projections that can not only impact the locality of intraclass and maximize the globality of interclass, but can also simultaneously use the Lasso regression to obtain a sparse transformation matrix. This characteristic makes SDE more intuitive and more powerful than PCA and LLE. At last, the proposed algorithm was estimated through experiments using the Yale and AR face image databases and the USPS handwriting digital databases. The experimental results show that SDE outperforms PCA LLE and UDP attributed to its sparse discriminating characteristics, which also indicates that the SDE is an effective method for face recognition.

패턴 인식 연구 분야에서 많은 특징점 추출 알고리즘들이 개발되었지만, 태블릿 PC나 LCD 태블릿과 같은 펜-입력 디스플레이를 위한 인터액티브 애플리케이션들은 기존과는 다른 요구사항을 가진다. 사용자 마다 다른 다양한 스케치 스타일의 대해서 세그멘테이션 및 특징점 추출을 그림을 그리는 동안 실시간에 안정적으로 수행하여야 한다. 본 논문은 사용자로부터 자유로이 입력된 펜 입력을 분할(segmentation)하기 위해 필수적인 곡률(curvature) 측정 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 국소적인 모양 정보(shape descriptors)만을 사용하므로 펜 입력동안 곧바로(on-the-fly) 곡률을 측정할 수 있다. 본 알고리즘은 3차원 스케치 기반 모델링 애플리케이션에서 펜 마킹 인식을 위해서 사용되었다.

Visual object tracking is a fundamental problem in the field of computer vision, as it needs a proper model to account for drastic appearance changes that are caused by shape, textural, and illumination variations. In this paper, we propose a feature-based visual-object-tracking method with a sparse representation. Generally, most appearance-based models use the gray-scale pixel values of the input image, but this might be insufficient for a description of the target object under a variety of conditions. To obtain the proper information regarding the target object, the following combination of features has been exploited as a corresponding representation: First, the features of the target templates are extracted by using the HOG (histogram of gradient) and LBPs (local binary patterns); secondly, a feature-based sparsity is attained by solving the minimization problems, whereby the target object is represented by the selection of the minimum reconstruction error. The strengths of both features are exploited to enhance the overall performance of the tracker; furthermore, the proposed method is integrated with the particle-filter framework and achieves a promising result in terms of challenging tracking videos.

Feature based stereo matching is an effective way to perform 3D building reconstruction. However, in urban scene, the cluttered background and various building structures may interfere with the performance of building reconstruction. In this paper, we propose a novel method to robustly reconstruct buildings on the basis of rectangle regions. Firstly, we propose a multi-scale linear feature detector to obtain the salient line segments on the object contours. Secondly, candidate rectangle regions are extracted from the salient line segments based on their local information. Thirdly, stereo matching is performed with the list of matching line segments, which are boundary edges of the corresponding rectangles from the left and right image. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve better accuracy on the reconstructed result than pixel-level stereo matching.

In this paper, we propose novel seabed sediment classification algorithm using feature obtained by continuous wavelet transform (CWT). Contrast to previous researches using direct reflection coefficient of seabed which is function of frequency and is highly influenced by sediment types, we develop an algorithm using both direct reflection signal and backscattering signal. In order to obtain feature vector, we employ CWT of the signal and obtain histograms extracted from local binary patterns of the scalogram. The proposed algorithm also adopts principal component analysis (PCA) to reduce dimension of the feature vector so that it requires low computational cost to classify seabed sediment. For training and classification, we adopts K-means clustering algorithm which can be done with low computational cost and does not require prior information of the sediment. To verify the proposed algorithm, we obtain field data measured at near Jeju island and show that the proposed classification algorithm has reliable discrimination performance by comparing the classification results with actual physical properties of the sediments.

본 논문에서는 인쇄체 숫자를 인식하기 위해 가중 원형 정합(weighted template matching) 방법을 제안한다. 원형 정합은 입력 영상 전체를 하나의 전역적인 특징으로 처리하는 데 반해, 제안된 가중 원형 정합은 패턴의 특징이 나타나는 국부적인 영역에 해밍 거리(Hamming distance)의 가중치를 두어 패턴 특징을 강조하여 숫자 패턴의 인식률을 높인다. 실험에서는 기존의 원형 정합을 사용했을 때, 오류 역전파 신경망을 사용했을 때와 가중 원형 정합을 사용했을 때의 혼돈 행렬(confusion matrix)을 각각 서로 비교한다. 실험 결과는 본 논문에서 제안한 방법에 의해 인쇄체 숫자의 인식률이 크게 향상된 것을 보인다.

Multiple waves of COVID-19 highlighted one crucial aspect of this pandemic worldwide that factors affecting the spread of COVID-19 infection are evolving based on various regional and local practices and events. The introduction of vaccines since early 2021 is expected to significantly control and reduce the cases. However, virus mutations and its new variant has challenged these expectations. Several countries, which contained the COVID-19 pandemic successfully in the first wave, failed to repeat the same in the second and third waves. This work focuses on COVID-19 pandemic control and management in Saudi Arabia. This work aims to predict new cases using deep learning using various important factors. The proposed method is called Deep Learning and Dynamic Weighing-based (DLDW) COVID-19 cases prediction method. Special consideration has been given to the evolving factors that are responsible for recent surges in the pandemic. For this purpose, two weights are assigned to data instance which are based on feature importance and dynamic weight-based time. Older data is given fewer weights and vice-versa. Feature selection identifies the factors affecting the rate of new cases evolved over the period. The DLDW method produced 80.39% prediction accuracy, 6.54%, 9.15%, and 7.19% higher than the three other classifiers, Deep learning (DL), Random Forest (RF), and Gradient Boosting Machine (GBM). Further in Saudi Arabia, our study implicitly concluded that lockdowns, vaccination, and self-aware restricted mobility of residents are effective tools in controlling and managing the COVID-19 pandemic.

Owing to the rapid development of information science, data analysis based on machine learning has become an interdisciplinary and strategic area. Marine predators algorithm (MPA) is a novel metaheuristic algorithm inspired by the foraging strategies of marine organisms. Considering the randomness of these strategies, an improved algorithm called co-evolutionary cultural mechanism-based marine predators algorithm (CECMPA) is proposed. Through this mechanism, search agents in different spaces can share knowledge and experience to improve the performance of the native algorithm. More specifically, CECMPA has a higher probability of avoiding local optimum and can search the global optimum quickly. In this paper, it is the first to use CECMPA to perform feature subset selection and optimize hyperparameters in support vector machine (SVM) simultaneously. For performance evaluation the proposed method, it is tested on twelve datasets from the university of California Irvine (UCI) repository. Moreover, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can be a real-world application and is spreading in many countries. CECMPA is also applied to a COVID-19 dataset. The experimental results and statistical analysis demonstrate that CECMPA is superior to other compared methods in the literature in terms of several evaluation metrics. The proposed method has strong competitive abilities and promising prospects.

The system for re-identifying persons is used to find and verify the persons crossing through different spots using various cameras. Much research has been done to re-identify the person by utilising features with deep-learned or hand-crafted information. Deep learning techniques segregate and analyse the features of their layers in various forms, and the output is complex feature vectors. This paper proposes a distinctive framework called Integrated Level Feature Pattern (ILFP) framework, which integrates local and global features. A new deep learning architecture named modified XceptionNet (m-XceptionNet) is also proposed in this work, which extracts the global features effectively with lesser complexity. The proposed framework gives better performance in Rank1 metric for Market1501 (96.15%), CUHK03 (82.29%) and the newly created NEC01 (96.66%) datasets than the existing works. The mean Average Precision (mAP) calculated using the proposed framework gives 92%, 85% and 98%, respectively, for the same datasets.
